Dandi d.o.o. was established in 1990 with a focus on sport, particularly squash. Dr. Damjan Pintar, one of the first squash pioneers in Eastern Europe and the author of the first Slovenian book about squash in 1988, was one of the founders. The company's first investment was in a fitness center in Terme Zreče, Slovenia, which supported a thermal spa resort. Later, after acquiring a series of apartments on Rogla, the company gained momentum and began renovating abandoned forestry houses in the valley of the river Oplotnica in 1997, which marked the beginning of its tourism developments.

He also spent 17 years in managing positions at Unitur, a tourism company that owned several resorts in Slovenia, allowing him to understand trends and predict the development of sports tourism.
